Unregistered modem?

Originally posted by Cable_Dood If you have the balls to uncap, at least have the brains to do it with an unregistered modem so that you don't get that phone call.

Hey Dood.
I was wondering, what system in use today would allow an unregistered modem to even sync?
We bought a new SB4100 and couldn't tie in to the system until we called and registered it. ATT is up to date even up here in the northern tip of Utah.

Just for the fun of it... send me a message at Normsdoctor@yahoo.com Content not important. I want to get a general fix on your location so I can introduce you to a few of the boys. They will explain to you why it’s wrong to do something even if you believe “not getting caught” makes it acceptable. You’re K-12 right? Still lots to learn my friend.

People will forget what you said... and people will forget what you did... but people will never forget how you made them feel.

lol you guys dont belive how easy it is to get caught doing this. Just because you havent yet it will happen. As for the question on how the modem will sync.....It syncs because you load the config file onto the modem so it doesnt need one from the cable company.......JUST A WARNING this is an easy detection for the cable company....change it back to what its suppossed to be and they wont care but leave it where it is and pay the price.....It would be cheeper to pay for a dedicated OC line then it will be to pay what its gonna cost you to get out of trouble.

Lots to learn,huh???? First of all, I only uncapped because I wanted to see if I could do, after I accomplished it, i quickly reverted back to the factory settings. Second, I must admit, i have to learn, like not to let this kind of stupidity upset me like it has. You honestly think that because I'm still in school I don't know what is right from wrong? If I didn't, don't you think my modem would still be uncapped??????? and introduce me to a few of your boys, thats honestly supposed to be intimidating? LOL i'm so scared.

just for the heck of it; I HOPE you get caught...If you were my neighbor I'd report you..

And to you BaLa, Get caught doing what? Paying for my 1500/128 legally? Not Violating any of Comcast's rules? Honestly if you were my neighbor and you reported me I would just sit there and look at you like a fool, because nothing in my house is illegal, incoming or outgoing.

My Thoughts,

Thanks for the second post of clarification. Your first post:

hehe it was only a crime.....when u got caught, I uncapped my sb4100 on @home and yeah, the upload in the mbps is lovely)

left us to believe you were an idiot.

Your second post cleared up a few unknowns like:
1) You said nothing about uncapping to see if it could be done… and then quickly reverting back to the factory settings. You left us to believe you were still sucking down all the bandwidth you could steal.
2) You came across like all the people who “do” get caught (it’s not a crime if you don’t get caught). And yes… that makes it appear that you have lots to learn.
3) The statement “let me introduce you to a few of the boys” was intended to wake you up to a possibility.

I’m just some bozo poster here at Speed Guide. Maybe a lurker or two will see value in this exchange of words.

I understand it's wrong and it's stealing bandwidth from other users, but can we be a lil nice to the kid? He did it for the heck of it, and learned his lesson at the same time lol. We know for a fact that he won't do it again, so lets not give him a heart attack.
